Who Gives A Crap confirms customer data exposed in third party software breach

Australian direct-to-consumer toilet paper brand Who Gives A Crap has announced that customer data may have been accessed in a third-party security incident involving a US-based marketing software provider. The breach, which was discovered on Friday and addressed by Monday, did not involve payment details or passwords but included names, email addresses, phone numbers, mailing addresses, and total spending with the company.

Canadian customers were not affected. WGAC CEO Simon Griffiths informed customers of the incident via email on Saturday and stated the company had disconnected the provider from its systems and changed access credentials. The brand is monitoring the situation, strengthening its defenses, and will update customers as more information becomes available.
